Hi,
To my opinion very likely you are having these symptoms due to sinus infection as this can cause recurrent infection with phlegm. You can do some nose lavage with saline solution daily and also take some nasal steroids to reduce local inflammation and oral Loratadine 10 mg at night.
Meanwhile it might be advisable to have a chest x-ray to rule out lung infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
